3. Spanish " vieja " with a stress-attracting deprecative suffix "-ota " which prevents the e > ie stem-vowel mutation.
4. *Expressions like " a ten foot pole " come from the Old English genitive plural form of " foot ", " fota " which did not have a final / s / or vowel mutation . ( See ten foot pole here at Harvard . ) In essence, the expression means a pole of ten feet.
5. There is also the " genitive of measure " : forms such as " a five-mile journey " and " a ten-foot pole " use what is actually a remnant of the Old English genitive plural which, ending in / a /, had neither the final / s / nor underwent the " foot / feet " vowel mutation of the nominative plural.
